ICT budget and staffing trends in Finland - Enterprise ICT investment plans to 2013

Reportstack has announced a new market research publication on ICT budget and staffing trends in Finland - Enterprise ICT investment plans to 2013 which presents the findings from a survey of 51 Finnish enterprises regarding their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) budgets and staff allocation. The survey investigates how Finnish enterprises currently allocate their ICT budgets across the core areas of enterprise ICT spend, namely hardware, software, IT services, communications and consulting. In order to provide a depth of insight into ICT vendors' and service providers' potential customers. The survey reveals that enterprises in Finland are planning to decrease their spending on hardware and software in 2013 compared to 2012, whereas spending on communications will increase.

Finnish enterprises are continuously looking to expand their operations in emerging economies which is driving the spending on communication and networking technologies. Global ICT Intelligence has invested significant resources in order to interview CIOs and IT managers about their IT Budgets.
